Chapter 1283 - Unbelievably Strong

The leader looked at Chen Fan and laughed sinisterly. “Keke, you damned brat, since you’re courting death, I shall grant your wish. Whatever tricks you have won’t save you. Once trapped in my Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation, survival is impossible.

“I will refine you into the core formation eye of my formation. Once I complete my grand formation, its power will multiply!”

“Boss is mighty and domineering. Refine him to death. Avenge our fallen brothers!”

“

Hmph, hmph!

The boss even used the Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation. That alone proves how tricky this kid is. Still, no matter what, he dies here.”

“That’s right. He once used this grand formation to massacre a small city. He slaughtered and turned them into evil spirits, becoming part of this grand formation. This damned brat won’t be spared either.”

“I can’t wait to see him devoured by a horde of ghosts. It’s been too long since I heard those soul-wrenching, desperate screams.”

The faces of the surviving vicious men in the surrounding turned savage, as if they could already see Chen Fan’s deserved end.

They had robbed and killed more victims than they could count, never once slipping up. They always chose targets carefully: never provoking the strong, and sparing the lives of weaker ones like disciples from immortal sects.

That way, even if those disciples reported them, sect elders wouldn’t care. If anything, they’d blame their own disciples for being useless.

Thanks to this strategy, they’d survived comfortably despite countless crimes; they understood the unspoken rules all too well.

However, Chen Fan had refused to hand over his fortune and killed their brothers. Though this wasn’t the first time someone fought back, it was the first time in years they’d suffered such heavy losses. They had to kill Chen Fan and refine his soul into an evil spirit to soothe their hatred.

In the sky, ten thousand evil spirits appeared, instantly filling the small space around Chen Fan.

The sword qi he had summoned earlier was devoured in a flash, consumed and replaced by a terrifying swarm of evil spirits.

The ten thousand evil spirits blocked the laws and sealed the Great Dao.

This was no longer just a battlefield: it was a ghost domain, a pocket of hell where death ruled supreme.

The leader stood among these evil spirits like the sovereign of this hellish realm, the most noble existence among the ghosts. He could command all evil spirits under the heavens to do his bidding.

Empowered by the Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation, his strength grew steadily, fed by the spirits swarming around him.

His gaze turned eerie, ghostlike. They seemed cold and gleamed green in the darkness.

Evil spirits coiled tightly around him, warping his appearance until he, too, seemed like a massive ghost, his skin turning ashen.

Not even the leader could fully avoid the effects. His special method might lessen the impact, but it wouldn't nullify it.

However, he had no choice but to do this. In their exchange earlier, he could already tell that the youth before him was no slouch.

Underestimating someone like this would be equivalent to throwing his own life away.

A lion would use all its strength even when hunting a rabbit. He had to hunt Chen Fan with everything he had, without pause, until the end.

The leader’s power grew increasingly stronger. The evil spirits haunting him formed an armor of ghosts around him.

The leader moved.

“Die!”

His aura peaked, and he slashed with a pair of ghost claws, aiming for Chen Fan’s face. He wanted to kill him outright, leaving no room for a counterattack.

The ghost claws tore through the sky with terrifying force, reaching Chen Fan in a blink. It was a top-tier ghost Dao technique.

Chen Fan would never give him such an opportunity.

Clang!

A deafening metallic clash rang out as every pore on Chen Fan’s body burst open, releasing a flood of sword qi.

He didn’t move a muscle, but the sword qi around him instantly boiled over, swirling into a storm of sword qi.

Chen Fan seemed like a sword god with unimaginably terrifying strength. Everything between heaven and earth could become the sword Dao in his hands.

The sword qi swept out in an instant, shredding the ghost claw.

Roar!

The leader howled in agony as blood poured from his hand.

Chen Fan’s sword qi had torn open a massive wound, splitting skin and flesh; blood gushed freely.

The Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation couldn’t even stop Chen Fan for a moment.

“What?”

“How is this possible?”

“Is this for real! Do I need glasses now? Am I seeing things? How could he possibly be this powerful? The formation failed against him!”

The other thugs, waiting to see Chen Fan broken and screaming, now stared wide-eyed, mouths agape as if they’d seen a ghost. Shock and disbelief filled every face.

They all knew how powerful their leader’s Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation was. With the grand formation’s empowerment, their leader, just a peak Lesser Legend then, had once defeated a newbie Greater Legend.

But now, their omnipotent leader had been injured in a single strike. He was bleeding.

A flicker of unease appeared in his eyes.

He knew Chen Fan was very strong, nothing like the immortal sect disciples they’d robbed before. This was a true heaven-chosen.

That was why he had gone all in, using his strongest technique.

With his Greater Legendary cultivation and the boost from the Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation, he could exchange blows with a middle-stage Greater Legendary realm expert.

Originally, he thought Chen Fan wouldn’t stand a chance after he used his trump card; instead, he’d been hit squarely and humiliated.

“So, this is your strongest method, huh? Pathetic. You bastards deserve worse. Your sins warrant a thousand deaths, but even that wouldn’t wash away the monstrous sins you have committed!”

Sword qi whistled around Chen Fan, merging with the laws. The air rang with the sharp whistle of sword energy ripping through heaven and earth.

He had seen through the viciousness of this Myriad Ghosts Devour Heaven Grand Formation instantly. How many people had they killed to gather so many evil spirits? So many innocent souls, even ordinary people.

That made the leader’s death a necessity.

“You damned son of a bitch, pay for the lives of those innocent people you killed!”

Chen Fan moved.

His Demon Slaying Sword flashed with endless sword light. A terrifying sword intent exploded forth, forming a massive blade of light that slashed toward the leader.

This was his first time taking the offensive, his speed so fierce that he turned into a golden streak of lightning.
